Take no prisoner. Show no mercy. Trust no soul. And vengeance shall be yours. . .
Prince Chien is determined to claim his birthright — the Throne of a Thousand Swords — denied by his
wicked aunt, Empress Mai. He has successfully turned her two equally wicked sons, Prince Minh and
Prince Tuan, into dueling each other for the throne. Hiding a vial of EverBloody, Prince Chien attempts to poison their foods at the banquet. No matter who win the duel tomorrow, both wicked princes will die.
One cut to the skin, and blood will flow relentless.
Prince Chien will make his aunt suffer every second in watching her beloved sons die a slow painful
death. Afterward, he will take her head and the crown that sits upon it. Only then will he have
successfully eliminated all the traitors who helped kill his mother and his younger sister in the palace
coup thirteen years ago.
Only one person stands in his way — General Bao. Prince Chien has skirted around court intrigues,
planned successful assassinations, and demurred himself as a dunce prince. But love is the one thing
Prince Chien never thought he would had to face.
Whoever said that those who embark on a journey of revenge should dig two graves was not wise
enough to realize love could do exactly the same thing.

The Luxury of Vengeance
A Love is Always Right Story
Isabella Carter
Once upon a time, he had dreamed of succeeding his father to the Throne of a Thousand
Swords. It was his destiny, his mother had explained. Those dreams had been filled with the idyllic peace that only children could conceive. And then she had died, and Chien had been left only with his dream of
the day he would finally take his aunt's head and return honor to the Throne of a Thousand Swords.
Thirteen long years of planning, of arranging it so that each death would not raise suspicion. Now that
the end was so close, he could scarcely believe it.
And with its being so close, he would have to be more careful than ever. There would be no
worse fate than to have spent all those years in vain simply because he had grown too impatient at the
end. Coming here to eavesdrop on the Empress was a stupid risk, especially since things were already
falling into place, but sometimes the best way to gather information was to listen in himself.
If they found him in the tiny servant's hallway, there would be no good excuse for his presence.
But he doubted she would even think to check the hallway. Few knew about it. It had been built before
Chien's time as a way for servants to enter quietly and clear food from the Emperor's room. Considering
the small size of the hallway, Chien didn't have to wonder too hard why that tradition had not lasted
long.
The general might have found him there. He seemed to have a sense for appearing wherever
Chien least wanted him. Thankfully, he had left two weeks ago, though he was due back that night.
General Bao had quickly risen in Empress Mai's ranks. Chien had heard the stories of the man before
he'd had the chance to meet him, a soldier who had distinguished himself on the battlefield at a young
age. His superiors had taken great offence when he had been promoted so quickly.
And then he had shown quite a bit of interest in Chien. Intense stares though he seemed
reluctant to actually speak to him. Chien had believed that Bao was keeping a watch on him for his aunt
